A DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing in a murder case to allow for plea discussions. 

Shaquille Bynum, 19, and Sean Howard, 18, are charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 20-year-old Ibrahim Sesay on Jan. 6 on the 1300 block of 9th Street, NW. 

Defense attorney Stephen Brennwald said Bynum was ready to enter into a plea agreement during the Nov. 5 hearing. From there, Judge Neal Kravitz continued the hearing to allow the defense to speak with Howard.

The defendants are scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 1.
